POPSFlying Kick Sent Man Into Train's Path, Video Shows
Rosimo suffered only an undisclosed foot injury and was transported to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center.

The train that went over him is a newer model introduced in August on which the outer skirt of the train is a couple of inches higher than on old trains. But Rosimo's real saving grace, Witt said, may have had more to do with the track than the train.

POPSHate Begets Hate "What makes this even worse is that three American evangelical Christians, whose teachings about “curing” gays and lesbians have been widely discredited in the United States, helped feed this hatred. Scott Lively, Caleb Lee Brundidge and Don Schmierer gave a series of talks in Uganda last March to thousands of police officers, teachers and politicians in which, according to participants and audio recordings, they claimed that gays and lesbians are a threat to Bible-based family values.
